Current conflicts are increasingly targeting civilians & heightening the risk of atrocity crimes.
Early warning must be met with early action.

Culture is a fundamental right & the fabric of the human family.
It teaches us to doubt, to put ourselves in other people’s shoes, and enables us to recognize that humanity in others – even in yesterday’s adversary.
That is the power of culture. That is where peace begins.

The Palestinian people continue to endure immense suffering.
Israeli restrictions on humanitarian assistance must be lifted.
The obstacles to implementation of the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict endorsed by the Security Council must be removed.
Civilians must be protected.
And international law must be respected.
The two-State solution remains the only viable path: Israel & Palestine living side-by-side in peace & security.

After #SrebrenicaGenocide, satellite images revealed attempts by Bosnian Serb forces to conceal evidence of killings by relocating bodies from mass graves. Despite these efforts, more than 70 mass graves were discovered and 18 convicted for their crimes👇

Warm congratulations to Navi Pillay on being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
From her work in South Africa defending Nelson Mandela & others, to her role as an international judge on cases relating to international crimes, including the genocide in Rwanda, to her tenure as High Commissioner for Human Rights, to chairing the @UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, she has shown that the force of law must prevail over the law of force and that defending human rights is the surest safeguard against injustice.
Today’s prize is a tribute to all those working to uphold & defend international law, the rule of law & human rights, and secure peace, justice & human dignity.
In Nuremberg today, Special Adviser Beyani warmly congratulating Navi Pillay as 2026 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate: Your tireless efforts to advance peace, international justice and human rights constitute a call of action for a world in which this work is more necessary than ever.
The #NobelPeacePrize for 2026 goes to a person who with exceptional courage and integrity has led the way towards a more comprehensive global legal order. This year’s laureate Navi Pillay has been instrumental in ensuring that war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide are prosecuted.

Men go to war.
Women are left to hold together what war broke and accept agreements they had no hand in shaping.
There can be no lasting peace in the Great Lakes region without women at the table and at the heart of prevention and decision-making.

I was deeply honored to recieve Mr. Chaloka Beyani, @UN Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide and Hate Speech at our @UN_Women offices today.
We shared on how hate speech is structural violence against women and can be online and offline. We briefed on the range of collaborative work, and how the mandate intersects with our UN commitment to human rights, peace and security and the responsibility to protect.
I am honoured to sit as a member of the UN high level steering committee that supports this work, bringing a gender equality and women’s human rights perspective to this mandate.

#نبيل_فهمي يلتقي مع المسؤول الأممي عن منع #جرائم_الإبادة_الجماعية
التقى السيد نبيل فهمي، الأمين العام لجامعة الدول العربية، مع السيد تشالوكا بياني، المستشار الخاص للأمين العام للأمم المتحدة المعني بمنع الإبادة الجماعية، وذلك على هامش أعمال الجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة بنيويورك.
وتناول الأمين العام خلال المقابلة التطورات الجارية في الأراضي الفلسطينية المحتلة، لا سيما قطاع غزة، وضرورة التصدي لما ترتكبه إسرائيل من اعتداءات على الشعب الفلسطيني، في انتهاك صارخ للقانون الدولي والقانون الدولي الإنساني.
وشدد فهمي على ضرورة التحرك الدولي الفاعل لوقف هذه الاعتداءات والانتهاكات الإسرائيلية، وحماية المدنيين الفلسطينيين منها، وضمان محاسبة المسؤولين عنها وعدم إفلاتهم من العقاب.
وأكد الأمين العام أهمية اضطلاع الأمم المتحدة وآلياتها المعنية بمسؤولياتها في مواجهة خطورة الانتهاكات الجسيمة التي يتعرض لها الشعب الفلسطيني، والتحرك في الوقت المناسب لمنع تفاقمها، مشدداً على أهمية الدور الذي يضطلع به مكتب المستشار الخاص في رصد هذه الانتهاكات والتحذير من مخاطرها.

A particularly important and personal meeting amid recent developments with UN Under-Secretary-General and Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide Dr. Chaloka Beyani.
🇧🇦 FM @dinokonakovic revisited the concerns raised with UN Member States regarding the state and military honors accorded in Serbia to Ratko Mladić, convicted of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. For Bosnia and Herzegovina, Srebrenica is not simply a chapter of history. Behind every judgment are victims, survivors and families who have carried the consequences for more than three decades. Glorifying those responsible is an affront to their dignity and a warning of what happens when denial and revisionism are normalized.
Minister Konaković called for a clear international response and stressed the responsibility to defend established facts, protect the dignity of victims and recognize warning signs before they become something far more dangerous. The lesson of Srebrenica is not only to remember what happened, but to act when we recognize the warning signs again.
